Ridgeview Valley was known for two things. One: Well before any of us were alive, a chunk of asteroid smashed into the town’s center and left a miniature crater which they celebrate atrociously. And two: On either side of the town, there are two competing schools that wage war over a long-time feud. Cedar Heights Academy was clearly the superior winner. But after a mysterious, totally not-suspicious fire temporarily closes it down, we’re all forced to attend the rival Willowbrook Academy.

When Dark Lord Kazimir Blackrose kidnaps Lady Arabella for a forced marriage, he expects an obedient, trembling bride. What he gets is a knife to the throat and a furious woman with her own terms.

Arabella has already survived her father's tower prison and a lifetime of being treated like property. Being abducted by the realm's most notorious villain is just another Tuesday.

The first year of college is supposed to be the best time of your life, right? Partying, discovering yourself, getting your heart broken… all that bullcrap. My cousin once told me I had a talent for attracting trouble. And screw me sideways, he was right. Instead of discovering myself, I discovered something much worse. I suck at college. Oh, and I am in love with my rival and former best friend’s boyfriend. I wish I could say that’s the extent of it. But drama and trouble find me everywhere I go. Not only was he my rival and enemy’s boyfriend. He was my stepbrother.

The Spring crown was mine—until Freya Heart ripped it away. Now, the only way back to the Fae continent that exiled me is through her son, the prince with the charming grin and the audacity to offer me his hand in marriage. He wants a seat at the Faerie war table. I want his head on a stick. I don't trust him. I don't like him. But we're sharing secrets. Sharing a bed. And he looks at me like I'm more than just a means to an end. I came back to reclaim my throne—not to fall for the son of my enemy. And if I have to betray him to win? So be it.

Sometimes the wrong side could be the right side. My father never loved me. I was never good enough for him because I was different. My differences made me vulnerable to his cruelty, and a mistake I made brought a deeper level of hell into my life. When my curiosity got the better of me one night, it ended with me being forced out of the world I’d learned to exist in before I was thrust into another. This new world is darker and more dangerous. It’s filled with lies, deceit, and pain. I have rules I live by now because the wicked walk these halls.

But she isn't here to be saved. She's here to end her stepbrother, Jag Rath.

Ally Hastings is my obsession, the one girl I never should have fallen in love with.

As the winter solstice nears, Dimitris can't help but wonder if he would risk Alexander's wrath to call Thalia his own.

Now her parents are gone, and her younger sister’s life hangs in the balance.

Approaching twenty-five, Katrin Drakos should only be concerned with two things—being crowned Queen of Alentus and marrying her Fated, Kohl. For five years, she focused on falling in love, on living, on becoming whole again. For five years, she was able to forget what the vile King Nikolaos of Nexos had done to her.

Until right before the Acknowledgement.

I’ll admit, I have the bar set so low it’s practically a tripping hazard.
